Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery

Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery is performed to repair a torn rotator cuff, a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder joint. A tear may occur due to sports injuries, falls, repetitive overhead movements, or age-related degeneration. Most repairs are performed using shoulder arthroscopy, a minimally invasive technique.

Your Care Journey

We believe in complete transparency. Here is what you can expect at every step of your procedural journey with our specialized medical team.

Before Surgery

The shoulder specialist evaluates the tendon injury with a physical examination, MRI, or Ultrasound. Patients should fast before surgery, inform the doctor about medications, and arrange for support during recovery.

Day of Surgery

Usually performed using arthroscopic techniques. An arthroscope is inserted to visualize the damaged tendon. The torn rotator cuff is repaired and reattached to the upper arm bone using specialized sutures and anchors. Inflamed tissue or bone spurs may also be removed.

Post Surgery

Patients often return home the same day. A shoulder sling is typically worn. Instructions include taking pain medications, beginning physiotherapy, keeping the wound clean, and avoiding lifting heavy objects or overhead movements.
